Yeah so, other case manufacturers would get hammered ie Mujjo, Apple, decoded so I’m gonna say it; to go from that beautiful slate/light grey to that in 1.5 months, regardless if use is absolute garbage IMO. Three years of wear, there.

I’d expect the colour to last a hell of a lot longer for the prices they charge.
 
Bullstrap leather is chrome tanned, which results in a softer leather. Nicer in hand feel but will absorb oil a lot quicker.

I absolutely loved the slate when it came out based on the photos they provided. Hard to believe this is the same color over (such a short period of) time. This cured me of thinking I needed to get one lol... I got a bourbon case from them this year, so far very happy with it. I've always gone with the Apple black leather wallet until this year.

Same. Seeing how Slate patinas I’m very undecided on if I want it or not, esp knowing that BS tends to patina quite quickly. Are you using BS MagSafe wallet now?

Lol, I just realized I typed wallet instead of case there... I actually just got the Bullstrap wallet for it earlier this week. It's a bit chunkier than the Apple wallet and my fingers are sore from breaking it in (the cards fit absurdly tight when new - it's fine now). But I really like it. Nice addition.

I just received my slate BS yesterday and was a bit disappointed that it was much darker (and even had a bit of a brown tint to it) than I thought the pictures online indicated. I can understand it being darker than “studio lit” promotional pictures, but in most light it doesn’t even appear to be grey. Not sure if I’ll keep it because it’s only going to get darker with time.
 
Anyone with a 15 Pro Max and BS case that also owns a Tesla? Apple silicon case had no issues at all with the wireless charging in my Model Y, but the BS case causes intermittent connection. Wondering if it's an issue with this specific case or if others are also experiencing the same.

Wish there was something closer design wise to the Apple leather cases but with a better leather quality. The buttons definitely didn't protrude as much on those, and never had any issues with charging on any wireless chargers.
